An Action Research on English Reading Compensatory Teaching Based on the Diagnostic Assessment of "Youzhenxue" (University Edition)

Abstract

Numerous studies have shown that diagnostic assessment plays a certain backwash role in English teaching, and the results of diagnostic assessment are used as the basis for subsequent compensatory teaching design. "Youzhenxue" (University Edition) is a language assessment platform that provides targeted diagnostic assessment results for English reading assessment. This paper explores the effectiveness of English reading compensatory teaching based on the diagnostic assessment results of "Youzhenxue" using a mixed research method. It is found that compensatory teaching focusing solely on the weaknesses of reading micro-skills identified in the assessment has limited effect on improving reading proficiency.
